Whether you’re expanding a home setup, small office NAS, or a compact server, this 4GB DDR4 module is designed to complement your existing memory configuration and support workloads that demand quick data retrieval and steady throughput.

• High-speed DDR4-2400 performance: This memory module operates at 2400 MHz, delivering rapid data transfers that help reduce latency and accelerate read/write operations. For NAS environments with concurrent access from multiple devices, the speed and bandwidth help keep file transfers snappy and responsive, especially during media streaming, backups, and virtualization tasks. The PC4-19200 rating reflects the module’s ability to handle large memory bandwidth requirements efficiently, enhancing overall system performance without adding heat or noise.
• Compact 260-pin SoDIMM design: Specifically designed for space-constrained systems, this module fits 260-pin SO-DIMM slots common in many QNAP NAS units, small-form-factor servers, and network appliances. The smaller footprint means you can upgrade your memory without needing to expand the chassis or rearrange other components, preserving the compact form factor that these devices are known for while still unlocking a meaningful performance uplift.
• Low-voltage operation for efficiency: Engineered to run at 1.20V, this DDR4 memory module emphasizes energy efficiency while maintaining dependable performance. Lower voltage translates to reduced power consumption and heat generation compared to older memory generations, which is particularly beneficial in always-on NAS environments where thermal management and energy costs matter over time.
• Single-module simplicity and reliability: With a 4GB capacity in a single module, the RAM-4GDR4A0-SO-2400 provides a straightforward upgrade path without the complexities of pairing or matching multiple sticks. A single, properly seated module also minimizes potential compatibility issues and simplifies the upgrade process, enabling faster deployment and fewer troubleshooting steps when expanding memory for demanding tasks like file indexing, caching, or running additional services on your NAS.
• Optimized for QNAP systems and data integrity: Built with compatibility and reliability in mind, this RAM module aligns with QNAP’s emphasis on stable performance for storage and media workloads. While it’s suitable for a range of DDR4-compatible devices, its design and testing focus on delivering consistent performance for QNAP NAS environments, helping to maintain system integrity during intensive operations such as backups, media streaming, and virtualization workloads that require steady memory availability.

How to Install QNAP RAM-4GDR4A0-SO-2400

• Power down the device completely and unplug it from any power source. Ground yourself to discharge static electricity before handling memory components.
• Open the enclosure or access panel to locate the memory slots. Some units may require removing the cover or a service door to reach the RAM slots.
• If you’re replacing an existing module, gently release the locking clips on the slot and slide the old module out, setting it aside. If you’re adding to an available slot, align the notch on the module with the slot and prepare to insert.
• Hold the DDR4 SO-DIMM module by the edges, align the notch with the memory slot, and insert the module at a slight angle (approximately 45 degrees). Press evenly until the module seats firmly and the locking latches click into place, securing the module.
• Replace the enclosure or cover, reconnect power, and boot the device. Enter the system BIOS or NAS management interface to verify that the 4GB RAM module is detected and recognized. If necessary, run a quick memory check or a system diagnostic to ensure stability.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does DDR4-2400 mean for performance? A: DDR4-2400 indicates a memory speed of 2400 MT/s (megatransfers per second). Higher speeds enable faster data transfer between memory and the processor, improving multitasking responsiveness and the performance of memory-intensive applications and storage operations on compatible systems.
• Q: Is this memory compatible with all QNAP NAS models? A: The RAM-4GDR4A0-SO-2400 is designed for systems that support 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM modules. Compatibility depends on your NAS model’s memory slot configuration and supported memory types. Always consult your device’s official specifications or QNAP support to confirm compatibility before upgrading.
• Q: Do I need to replace existing memory when upgrading? A: Not necessarily. If a free memory slot is available and the current memory configuration meets your needs, you can add the 4GB module to increase total memory. If all slots are occupied, you may need to replace existing modules to achieve the desired total capacity, ensuring the new configuration remains stable.
• Q: What kind of workloads benefit most from this upgrade? A: Memory-intensive workloads such as large file transfers, media indexing, real-time data processing, caching, virtualization, and running multiple services or apps on a NAS can benefit from additional RAM, resulting in smoother operation and reduced bottlenecks during peak usage.
• Q: Is the memory module energy-efficient? A: Yes. This DDR4 module operates at a low voltage of 1.20V, contributing to lower power consumption and thermals compared with older DDR3 or higher-voltage DDR4 configurations, which is advantageous for always-on NAS deployments.
• Q: How do I verify the memory is functioning correctly after installation? A: Access the device’s management interface or BIOS/UEFI to confirm RAM detection. Run a memory diagnostic or stress test if available, and monitor system performance and stability during typical workloads to ensure there are no errors or instabilities.
